If you have GoodYear LRE tyres (Pick-ups, SUVs, vans) then take notice
The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation aired a program, The Fifth Estate, on
Tuesday night at 9pm. Apparently the Goodyear LRE tyres are bursting all
over the place causing an unacceptable number of fatal accidents. The
program maintains that GoodYear knew about the apparent design flaw but
felt it was more economic to pay the damages for deaths than fix the
problem. GoodYear did improve the LRE's by adding a nylon cap to prevent
the treads from flying off. If you have a notation on your Goodyear LREs
that they have 2 layers of Nylon then you are OK (hopefully) - If not, go
very slowly to your tyre store and have them changed - and then claim
against GoodYear.
As a rider - ALL my information came from the TV progam - Go to
